Apostasy Reminder
10:46 - AD Keldorn Cochrane [gmf@kweeky.net]
A reminder to all that the Training Office competition 'Apostasy' will
end this Friday (12th September). Details at
http://www.emperorshammer.ca/comps_apostasy.html.

I can tell you all now, however, that there are is at least one event in
each category with no submissions - this would mean that if anyone was
indeed to submit something, they may win themselves a prolific award by
default. Now isn't that both a frightening and strangely comforting
idea. Submit some more entries, Ladies and Gents!

Commodore Appointments
06:54 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
As was announced at last night's TIE Corps meeting, the new Commodores
have been decided. Many congratulations go out to:

Rear Admiral Locke Setzer - ISD Immortal
Rear Admiral Phantom - ISD Relentless

Myself and AD Krax received many fine applications for the positions,
but these two individuals stood out as the best Officers for the job.
Congrats!

Operations Officer
02:17 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Congratulations go out to Rear Admiral Alex Foley who has been chosen as
the new EH Operations Officer.

Please give him some time to get settled before bombarding him with
overdue medal requests :P

Apostasy Results!
10:29 - AD Keldorn Cochrane [gmf@kweeky.net]
The Empero's Hammer-wide "Apostasy" competition has now drawn to a
close. The standard of submissions has been nothing short of sterling,
all that participated can give themselves a very large pat on the back.
Any questions regarding the competition may be sent to me
(to@emperorshammer.org). To the results!

Wing XV WC
10:07 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
COL Drax Remlinger has decided to step down after a successful tour as
Wing Commander on the Vanguard. Applications are now being accepted for
a new WC.

Taken from the Training Manual

Oversee the operations of the Wing
Keep in contact with Squadron Commanders
Appoint Squadron Commanders
Review medal recommendations from Squadron Commanders
Review comments, questions, etc from wing members
Report to the Commodore with recommendations
Forward emails, where appropriate, from superior officers to the Wing
Inform the Wing of important events, competitions, etc
Completes BSFs for all Squadron Commanders under his/her command
Be familar with primary reference materials (Training Manual, etc) Be
familar with primary TIE Corps and Emperor's Hammer webpages (Emperor's
Hammer domain, TIE Corps domain, TIE Corps roster, message board, etc)
Submissions for the Emperor's Hammer Newsletter (sent to the Executive
Officer) Post/read the Emperor's Hammer message boards (where possible)

Participate in competitions (where possible)
Attend on-line meetings (where possible)
Online Requirements: Moderate. Most of a Wing Commander's work will be
off-line in the form of reviewing various Medal requests, verification
of mission completions, etc. However, a Wing Commander must be present
occasionally on-line to post messages on message boards. The Wing
Commander must keep in contact with the six Squadron Commanders in his
wing and make sure the Squadrons are active. In addition, the email load
of a Wing Commander is rather heavy, with response times expected to be
24-48 hours. (average 7-12 hours/week)

Applications for the position go to Admiral Darksaber and Vice Admiral
SickMan before the end of next week.


Commendations of Loyalty
20:47 - RA Alex Foley [afoley@rawx.net]
All outstanding Commendations of Loyalty have now been awarded and
approved. If anyone is missing theirs, please e-mail me at
afoley@rawx.net.

Internet Office Assitant Needed
11:58 - HA Ari [ari@tiecorps.org]


The Internet Office would like to heartily congratulate our very own
Alex Foley upon his appointment as the new Operations Officer. However,
we're also sad to see him leave his stellar career as IOA. Obviously,
that means I require a replacement. This IOA position that needs to be
filled is a rather important one, with many duties. However, it can be
the most rewarding (as Alex Foley can testify...) as well. Some primary
duties will include:

Being responsible for finding a SOTW and poll every week
Having initiative to start new projects and see them out to completion
Assisting in EHW development (preferably on the PHP side)
Working closely with a variety of CS members
Must have a strong IRC presence.
Must have PHP experience (usually I don't mandate this, and I'll even
accept ASP, but in this one case it matters) Graphics capability
desirable, but not necessary
If you feel you are qualified for this position, please apply to me
(ari@tiecorps.org). Being an IOA means you'll be exposed to a lot of the
fleet, not just TC, so you should have a personable and confident
character. It also means you'll be working on some of the more important
projects going on in the fleet. I will accept requests to transfer to
full-time IOA (in which case I have promotion authority) if the
successful applicant so desires. Please include 1 or 2 references in
your application, as well as a minimum of 2-3 examples of your PHP
and/or graphics work. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask
me.


Flight Officer Resignation
05:18 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
